The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[TheJediBrah]

Imagine what stephen would do if he actually posted or read a site with obnoxiously partisan Indian fans. This place is nothing by comparison.

Oh there are definitely several obnoxiously partisan Indian fans here, they are just offset by more sensible ones

 

[Burgey]

A feud of the decade thread would be interesting. I'd personally nominate Miyagi vs everyone. Though there have been some other beauties, that epic *****/Burgey feud was 5-star.

I find it pretty astonishing that people believe I consider ***** important enough to hate.

Of course there was no hate bro, it was the banter which was top notch. Almost like Federer v Nadal type of back & forth. Much better than my midcard tiff with Captain Charisma & his boorish opinions which fall out of his colon.

 

[Daemon]

Would rather sit through 5 hours of Nathan Lyon highlights than read another page of ***** v Burgey.

Did this start cos I didn’t include Barrington in my English XI because I prefer the fluent stroke play of May and Compton?

I think it spoiled over from DoG's thread where Barrington was ranked 8.

I tried to get Botham beat up and jimmy chose Barrington to kill, effectively.

 

[jimmy101]

Tbf I actually rate Barrington really highly. At least as far as stonewallers go.

Moreso just grilling him about spreading factoids about players he has no knowledge about based on averages alone. As Crowley used to say - Stupidity is a sin.

Cant have four legit openers in one team however legendary they are. That is cheating. Be a man and take a call, mate. You have to look into the woman's eyes and say "Yes, I do". There is no way out.

Without 'cheating' my first XI's 1 to 6 is:

JB Hobbs
L Hutton
WR Hammond
DCS Compton
KS Ranjitsinhji
KF Barrington

10 players in the team can bowl; no need for Botham.

I desperately want to hear the story that's prompted this use of language in you mate.

 

[sunilz]

Yeah the Indians on this site are mostly pretty decent, but there does seem to be a cultural obsession with stats. There is a good reason I stay off Reddit.

I would prefer stats over people's opinion any day.
I am giving you 2 examples.
Garry Sobers : Subhash Gupte is better leg spinner than Shane Warne
Don Bradman : Selected Lillee over Marshall in his AT XI.

 

[harsh.ag]

If a Don Bradman example is to be given, it should be Alec Bedser and not Lillee

 

[sunilz]

Yeah , Bedser would be even more appropriate

 

[ankitj]

If a Don Bradman example is to be given, it should be Alec Bedser and not Lillee

And Arthur Morris

 

[mr_mister]

And Arthur Morris

From Bradmans ATG XI Don Tallon is the strangest choice IMO

 

[stephen]

From Bradmans ATG XI Don Tallon is the strangest choice IMO

Not if he picked the best gloveman.

 

[mr_mister]

Not if he picked the best gloveman.

But he was batting him 6 so you'd think he was considering his batting heavily
